About

Hi, I’m Dr. Fukiko Shibahara, a licensed clinical psychologist in California. You may appear composed on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, inadequate, helpless, or stuck in painful emotional patterns. Many of my psychotherapy clients are navigating loss, childhood trauma, intimacy challenges, or major life transitions such as separation, pregnancy, parenthood, adoption, family conflict, or job loss. You may experience low motivation, irritability, occasional anger, or deep sadness, and fear being judged for having emotional needs. Therapy offers a compassionate and safe collaborative space for healing, insight, and lasting change. With over 16 years of clinical experience across behavioral health clinics, schools, and hospitals in California, I specialize in assessing how attachment, development, and trauma history impact current mental health and emotional needs. I tailor treatment to each client, integrating multiple evidence-based therapies for adults, couples, and children.
